Chilliwack Museum & Archives Calls for Submissions for Community Art Show

The Chilliwack Museum & Archives is seeking creative pieces to display in the upcoming Community Art Show. The exhibition will be hosted from September 24, 2021 to January 22, 2022 and will feature imaginative works from the Community of Chilliwack.

The Exhibition will open on September 24, 2021 to coincide with Culture Days, a national celebration of arts, culture, and heritage. This year’s theme, Re:Imagine is based on the idea that throughout the challenges of the past year, arts and culture has emerged as a means of hope and reprieve from the difficulties of COVID life. What will the post-pandemic world look like and how can communities contribute to a brighter future?

“During the pandemic, creativity has been flourishing at home; often as a method of expressing how we feel in these unprecedented times” says Sarah Belley, Education and Engagement Coordinator, “our goal is to bring multiple demographics of our community together to highlight the talent and experiences of Chilliwack”.

There are minimal specifications on what can be submitted and there is no age requirement! There is no limit to how many pieces can be submitted, however, the number of pieces displayed will be dependent on total submission and display space. Submissions may be of any medium including, but not limited to: crochet, textiles, polymer clay, ceramics, felting, paint, drawing etc. Wall mounted submissions must be submitted in a frame with a hanging mechanism.

Submissions are being accepted at the Chilliwack Museum from September 7 to September 18, 2021 and must be accompanied by a Submission Form, which can be picked up at the Museum or printed ahead of time from http://www.chilliwackmuseum.ca/community-art-show/
